# Site Availability

A site can become suspended or locked due to a site import failure, or because a server administrator chooses to suspend the site for a period of time.

When a site is suspended, only the server administrator can activate the site to make it available again.

**Note**: If a site becomes locked and you cannot access the Sites page through the Server interface, use the [tsm sites unlock](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server/en-us/cli_sites_tsm.htm#TSMUnlock) command to change the state to active.

## To activate or suspend a site

1. In the site menu, click Manage All Sites, and then click Sites.
2. Select the site, and then select Actions > Activate or Suspend.
